Changing functionality of 'Minimize Window' button to 'Hide Window'

Hi!
I very rarely use minimizing since I don't like the minimized windows cluttering my dock - rather I just hide them.
Instead of reaching for the keyboard command-H every time (many apps don't have a Hide menu item), I'd like to change the unused yellow minimize button in all windows to do the hiding.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

It may not hide the window...but at least it can minimize-in-place (only the titlebar left).

Is it possible to change function of Play/Pause buttons on Satellite P100-347

Hi.
I would like to know if there is a way of changing the play / pause button on my laptop to stop opening windows media centre. I like to use itunes to listen to my music and the other buttons (back, forward and stop) all work with other programs but there is no way to use the play and pause function without Media Center opening.
It looks as though you can only change the internet and CD/DVD function in control panel.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
Simply answer: No its not possible to change the play / pause buttons functionality
The Toshiba Controls utility provides two options.
There you can assign and select a program to internet button and to CD/DVD button.

BPS Web Application - How to change function button property dynamically

We have created BPS web application for sales force, it contains 2 button.
1. To send Workflow notification to Managers 'Request for Approval' - This would be used by sales person
2. Button for Manager to approve the Plan 'Manager Approval' - This would be used by the Manager
We are using Territory Management in CRM to determine who is the manager and sales person.
We would like to use the same Web application to be used by both sales person as well as the manager. However depending on the user ID, we need to access the Territory Management table in BW to determine whether the person logging in is Manager / Sales person. If it is a Sales Person, we need to display 'Request for Approval' button and hide 'Manager Approval' button. Similarly, if it is Manager, 'Manager Approval' button to be displayed and 'Request for Approval' button to be hidden.
Would appreciate, if any one has faced similar requirement and how to do this.
Thanks,
VJ Sudharsan

Thanks Ananad and Srini for the suggestion. Actually I was working on the direction Anand Suggestion and make it working but I am not sure what I did is correct or not.
I have a bogus variable that checks for Manager / Sales person and brings back following code in the variable, if it is manager:
'<style> #Req_Approval_s </style>'
and I added a new text component of type HTML and code
<%=descr(VarvlSel2/value)%>
it works. Is this the correct way of doing the enhancement. Or is there a different place where we can add JavaScript.
Srini - I am using exit function, can you explain how we can I use BPS authorization to achieve this.

Modal Frame or Dialog with Minimize/Maximize buttons

I want to create a window (dialog or frame) that is modal and has the minimize/maximize buttons. Is it possible? How?
I normally would use a dialog if I wanted the window to be modal, but a dialog does not have the minimize/maximize buttons. I normally would use a frame if I wanted the window have the minimize/maximize buttons, but a frame cannot be modal.
Any suggestions, please?

You can make your "modal panel" listener the window events from all others frames:
public class YourModalFrame extends JFrame implements WindowListener{
public YourModalFrame(JFrame owner){
    super("Modal Frame");
    this.owner = owner;
    // we put a glass panel into the main frame
    JPanel glassPanel = new JPanel();
    glassPanel.setOpaque(false);
    glassPanel.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    // blocking the events!!!
    glassPanel.addKeyListener        (new KeyAdapter()        {});
    glassPanel.addMouseListener      (new MouseAdapter()      {});
    glassPanel.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter(){});
    owner.setGlassPane(glassPanel);
    // the frame will listener owner windows events
    owner.addWindowListener(this);
// Window Listener //

public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e){}

public void windowIconified(WindowEvent e){
    // Do you want this too?
    //super.setState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
   * Invoked when a window is changed from a minimized
   * to a normal state.
public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent e){
    if(super.getState() == JFrame.ICONIFIED)
      super.setState(JFrame.NORMAL);
    this.requestFocus();
   * Invoked when the window is set to be the user's
   * active window, which means the window (or one of its
   * subcomponents) will receive keyboard events.
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e){
    this.requestFocus();

Minimize Window capability disabled

Lately I've been seeing the yellow "bead" in the upper lefthand corner of a window turn gray, at which point all "minimize window" functionality stops (i.e. clicking the yellow bead, typing Command+M, selecting Window>Minimize, or double-clicking the title bar).
I can now replicate this loss of functionality by
(a) opening a new window (the particular application doesn't seem to matter. Minimize is active.
(b) switching to Parallels which is running Windows XP in full-screen mode in a different Space.
(c) switching back to the original Space, at which point the Minimize function is inactive.
This just began happening after I installed Parallels 4.0.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is it related to Parallels, or Spaces?
Thanks,
Chap

{quote:title=Carolyn Samit wrote:}
I'm confused. The yellow button is the one you click to send the window to the Dock, not minimize the window, the green button does that.
{quote}
Actually, "minimize" does mean "send window to Dock". If you look under the Window menu you'll see an item called "Minimize", which sends the window to the Dock.
The green button is the "do anything except what I expected it would do" button

Can't Close/Minimize Windows

Frequently (but not always) I can't close or minimize windows. If I drag the window slightly (in any direction), suddenly the close/minimize buttons become responsive. The problem happens in all Apps. Any thoughts on what this could be? (Running Mavericks 10.9.3 on a MacBook Air 13'')

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Change modules pop up window

How do I remove pop up window 'An error occurred while attempting to change modules' every time I try to load Lightroom 5?

Hi Todd,
i got the same problem.(cursor not change for pop-up windows) and because i m not an expert in internal html code i did try several solutions to fix it.
The easiest (but also even longer if u need to do severals) is to create a button (withs 2 overflight changing pics) with "inserer", "image survolée"
the "image survolée" can be linked to a pop-up window with the correct effect. To do so highlight the "expected new link to" and on right side task bar ad a "comportement" named "ouvrir la fenetre du navigateur" and optionally choose the size and windows available function of the pop-up. It works even if u need to proceed first with an overflight changing button.
The result is longer to obtain and not absolutely perfect. So I guess it s only an help solution for a single mateer. i would be glad to get another solution with a text link rather than using the overflight button system. Technically it should be better, more efficient and faster to proceed with applying an html code that really makes the text appearing as a classic link to a new windows whatever pop up or full size window. Please let me know if u get further answer to fix this problem.
Many thx and excuse my technical english translation about DreamCs4

Cursor does not change for pop-up window

I created a link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.

How to change the movie clip a button links to???

I am working on a website in Flash that had already been
designed by someone else. There are a number of buttons across the
website that are linked to the same symbol. Those buttons link to
movie clips, in the button's actions, that pop up as small windows
providing more information in regards to the button clicked. The
problem is that I cannot figure out how to properly change the link
association between button and movie clip.
Here is the action script for one of the buttons:
on (release) {
_root.scrHEIGHT=100
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.scroller._x = 100;
_root.scroller._y = 150.7;
_root.TM_title = "About Chris Smith";
_root.READ = 3;
When I change the number after "root.READ =" it will change
it to another movie clip but I how do I know what that association
is based on? For instance if I make a duplicate movie clip how can
I make the above script link to it? Also, what exactly does that
last line in the above script mean? When I tested various numbers,
like 3 and 6, they would link to the same movie clip.
Please help! This is driving me crazy!
Thanks!!!

Hi,
buttons can be defined with static icon/text, or dynamically via a variable (containing @08\Qtooltip@text for example). You choose the pushbutton type when you define your button using the screen painter. For the dynamic definition, you must tick the "output only" checkbox, enter a global variable name, that you'll fill in your program, preferably using ICON_CREATE function module.

Why am I not getting the buttons of Hide/Show, Refresh, Back, Home, Options ?

Gorgeous Hello All,
If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
A hurdle :-
When I File -> View -> Primary Layout : I am getting only these options of Search, Hide, Contents, Index, Glossary, Print being displayed on the screen, eventhough I have ticked for Hide/Show, Refresh, Back, Home (Home -> Advanced Properties -> Home : and declared the respective url as well) , Options courtesy View -> Pods -> Project Set-up -> Double Click on Windows -> Double Click on NewWindow.
Why am I not getting the buttons of Hide/Show, Refresh, Back, Home, Options when I File -> View -> Primary Layout ?

Hey Piyush Buddy, where were you since my morning !!! :-) :-) :-) Your simple question here made me realize where did I make the slip of my brain and now all the desired buttons are appearing on my screen.
I just made simple parameter changes called View -> Pods -> Single Source Layouts -> Right Click On Microsoft HTML Help -> Setted as Primary Layout (earlier my Primary Layout was setted up for Multiscreen HTML 5).
THANKS GALORE Piyush buddy - Your simple question to me made a mammoth and galores of help to get my train on track.

Close and minimize/maximize buttons disappeared

The close, minimize, maximize buttons in the top right corner don't show. They are there, but well...not. If I press in the top right corner, it acts as if I pressed the close button...asking if I'm sure and such. This happens all the time when I have multiple tabs open and try to click on or close the furthest right tab. The only way I can close tabs in this situation is by right clicking on it.
I've seen previous questions on this and tried all the suggested solutions: removing the persona to revert to default appearance, resetting firefox, hitting f11 to switch to fullscreen and back, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, changing toolbar settings as to what shows and what doesn't...nothing has worked and this problem is getting quite irritating.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Maximize/Minimize/Close buttons are all greyed out

Hello. Ever since a few days ago, the green, yellow, and red maximize/minimize/close buttons at the top left of every window have all been greyed out. They're all still completely usable and they do what you would expect them to do...there's just no color in them anymore. This is happening for all applications.
I'm not really sure what's causing this. I don't remember exactly when it stopped working or what happened right before it, but it may have started happening right after my computer shut down, possibly from overheating (My friend was trying to be funny and opened the application window in finder and then pressed Cmd+a followed by Cmd+o --- To open all of my applications. We watched it chugging along for a while and then the screen just went black and the computer turned off). I don't know if that would cause the problem, I'm not really sure why it would.
I tried a google search but came up empty handed. Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

No problem at all! Do remember to check the smallest things first before thinking that it is a big thing.

Warning on Unsaved Changes Functional Pattern

Overview
One advantage of integrated applications is users can easily navigate just about anywhere based on current needs. However, with the added flexibility also comes the increased risk of unsaved data accidentally being lost when navigating away from a page. Therefore, many applications typically warn the user when this is about to occur. Using the new warning on unsaved changes feature, 11g ADF applications can easily implement this type of functionality.
Click here to see the document that describes this pattern.
Edited by: Richard Wright on May 13, 2010 1:10 PM

Hi,
I have a page with an edit form. The user can close/leave the page by clicking on different buttons (menu items, close icon, back button). In this case, the system should warn the user about unsaved data. Furthemore, I want to skip data validation. I tried to implement the "Warning on Unsaved Changes Functional UI Pattern", although this approach doesn't skip data validation. How should I do this?
I'm using ADF 11g.

Control authorization of mass change functionality via PCUI

Hi,
We are having the following issues with the Opportunity iview, com.sap.pct.crm.opp.opportunities_s.(Business package for CRM 5.0 and contains functionality CRMD_BUS2000111).
Once the user clicks Go..he has the list of Opportunities. He can select some or select all and use "Mass Change".
We would like to control the functionality of "Mass Change" attribute in the backend CRM System so that only a few people can be authorized to do this. However we are not able to find any CRM authorization
object that controls the mass change activity for opportunities and pursuits in the backend CRM System.
What is the backend CRM Authorization object that controls this functionality in the backend CRM System ?
Regards,
Rajan.K

Frank,
In IW38/IW3N we added our own Mass-Change button (in addition to the standard option) via Enhancement Spot ES_EAM_LIST_ENHANCEMENTS_EXT. This was required to perform functions that don't exist in the standard mass-change function e.g. mass-add/delete operations, mass-un-TECO, mass-un-CLSD, etc.
This Enhancement Spot may work for IE05 too.
